We gave up something good but one of Berglund or Sobotka has to be gone too.

Tyler Bozak is now the 3rd line center which is FAN FREAKING TASTIC.
This completely changes the outlook of the entire lineup.
And to do it without having to move Parayko, Kyrou, or Thomas is huge.
Props to Stillman for stepping up and paying the 7.5 signing bonus to allow this trade to happen.

Crazy is not enough. I want total destruction. I wanna see DPW & Army side-by-side, sobbing over a heap of smoldering Tweets.

Robert Thomas now gets the Doug Gilmour development plan......will likely start as the checking center and get his feet wet. Great all around!

IF the Blues can sign Maroon now, I'll be pretty stoked.
Sobotka and Berglund cancel out ROR's salary so hopefully they have some room for him.

They'll change after the first bad period but
Schwartz - Schenn - Taranko
Steen - ROR - Perron
Fabbri - Bozak - Thomas/Kyrou
Looks a lot better than what was lined up a couple hours ago.

I can't believe our two biggest headaches are gone in one trade.

Not to toot my own horn (but totally tooting my own horn), but I had this pegged about 8 hours ago right after news broke we signed Bozak. That move didn't make sense in a vacuum - DA played this one pretty well, have to give him credit (as well as Stillman for bucking up to keep Kyrou/Kostin/Thomas out of this trade by paying the bonus this year).
